Hey Community, for 2026 is the first year that i will have a non-reg account. have a question about next tax season. ( I live on Vancouver Island , B.C.) I am only holding only MSTE in this account for now will use the dividends to buy other Canadian ETF'S that qualifie for the Canadian tax break down the road. I talked to my accountant and they said i will probably have to pay taxes on my dividends earned in this non - reg account, but from listening to the Friday live stream sounds like i might not have to? My question's -If i pull the Dividend out of the non - reg from MSTE and put in my chequing account do i pay tax on the dividend's? -If i leave the Dividend in the Non-Reg account would i still pay tax?

I am building a website that I can update the link in, here's what I have so far: https://garygillx.lovable.app/ I will turn this into an app/interactive website eventually where you can all upload your portfolio's as well, and share them here in the group the same way I am. It's just easier to view. ***NOTE*** This Cash Balance could easily increase by $200k+ in 2026, all depends on how much more cash I feel like allocating, how many ETF's I end up buying etc. ***NOTE*** This is part of my "Retirement Portfolio" so the Priority is Income + some growth.

After 15 years in marketing, I’ve realized I’m simply tired and would rather spend my time with my family than building marketing campaigns for large public companies with my team. Throughout 2026, I am transitioning THRYV AI Corp into a media company for my YouTube channel and will no longer accept new advertising clients; I’ll maintain current clients for now but will slowly phase them out and refer them to other agencies and find my employees work at other companies for the same salary. My future income will flow from my media properties, various investments, and also this portfolio I am building publicly, which I’m driving toward a $2M goal within two years to generate a sustainable $10,000 monthly. I’ve already started by adding $50k of HYLD to my non-registered account, $10k of TSPY and more ISBG to my USD RRSP, and increasing my HDIV in my TFSA, focusing on core positions with minimal NAV erosion so the principal keeps growing even as I draw 80% of the distributions. This has been a long time coming, I originally planned on working until 45, but I simply can't...I'd much rather just invest, make youtube videos, brain storm with everyone in the $1M Club, and hang out with my wife and kids. Here's to a new chapter. I've attached some screenshots of the updated portfolio, I injected about $350,000k CASH into this portfolio to help build my initial positions.
